Bitcoin Forum

It is great to see the crypto sphere getting better by the day and this is as a result of some positive changes in the price of coins.Hopes are beginning to come alive in the mind of many of us,how i wish these changes can affect ICO. Although many believe that the problem is bull run but i think otherwise,i stand to be corrected.I believe having positive changes in ICO can actually lead to bull run,Minimizing the level of fake projects and maximizing the level of genuine projects is all we need to get back to bull run.I really wish developer can understand that coming up with genuine project is a win win situation for both community and the developer.In the past,for some reasons i have lost faith in ICO but recently i feel things can actually get better with ICO because some have been successfully concluded in recent times.

I think IEOs are the new accepted form of ico because they are thought to cover the scam issue because each exchange thoroughly examines the project and interviews the team before they list the project so trust issues are being addressed by these exchanged hosting the icos and i think this is a step in the right direction by the exchanges.

Yep, there's IEOs now that can lessen the projects scammy behavior and there are STOs too that makes the project more validated. But the attention of the community now is on IEOs which gives the investors an easy option to choose.

After investing to an IEO, anyone can quickly trade the token in the said exchange that runs that IEO. And for investors, it is our own duty to check every project that we want to invest. We have our choice to invest or not and keep in mind that never stop DYOR.

You are right but i think if we want to see ico market like we saw in 2016 and 2017 we need growing crypto market like that time as well and with the current developments we might not be far away from such market so stay positive and good times are coming.

I think icos made good profits in the beginning because they were new and people wanted to get into good projects at the early level. I think that is still the case to an extent but if any ico is going to make it big they are going to have to be a huge project that gets a massive amount of attention. Maybe if like a huge company did an ico it would likely succeed.

So many things are changing and the market is actually stabilizing and that is what most investors need I think apart from some whales in the market I think generally things are beginning to pickup the speed and run really wild and hopefully i think we will get there TO BULL RUN

I also think the IEO is better because big exchange indeed examines the project, and this can bring some trust on this projects and people will not lose so much money as on ICO if more projects are legit.

Good projects will certainly have a good impact on the development of Crypto prices because if there are too many fraudulent projects, investor changes will be stopped because of loss of assets when buying at ICO because it will indirectly reduce crypto volume, which will worsen price conditions.

I don't think IEO is the solution to stop those scammers. We don't know how strict those exchanges are putting on every potential project applying for IEO. And recently, even small unknown exchanges are holding their IEOs, so we don't know the quality of the project anymore. They will be soon penetrated by crap projects..

the better the crypto situation, the better it is for the ICO because I think there have been some cases of unintentional or unplanned fraud from the start, many ICOs failed to reach targets, so that made developers desperate and finally scam by bringing all investors money to pay all the time he wasted and therefore, if crypto improves, people will be attracted to ICO again and will make every ICO have a higher tendency to succeed in achieving their sales targets and that is the same as minimizing scam

You say very accurately when the market has a big price problem and when ICOS projects are too many but not bringing quality will make the crypto market fall more. But the changes gradually appear as the IEO brings. A lot of breathing and great confidence for investors and Bitcoin are rising again. Perhaps the crypto market must be constantly changing to adapt to the environment.

yeah it's great to see the market get better because it makes my enthusiasm even better because honestly, it's very difficult to stay enthusiastic about crypto when we know that prices continue to decline, when we know that there are many failed projects, when we know there are many scam, therefore when everything improves, my enthusiasm also increases

It's true that days are getting better as time goes by. People had turned away from ICO investment due to the number of scam ICO. That is why there's  a new crowd finding method which is IEO. ICO has really nothing to do with the bull-market, the bull-market is either triggered by Hype, innovation, events and development which attracts more investors into the crypto market.

Cryptocurrency value is going better because i think it has reached the most bottom position.
In addition, there are many IEO's running in several exchanges, attracting investors to buying cryptocurrency.
2019 is better than 2018 in my opinion, and it is time for crypto to rising slowly from the bottom.

The development of ICO projects during so far is really increasing as we can see from time to time. There are so many growing numbers of ICOs with numerous concepts and ideas. However, as we realize, not all ICOs are valuable and worthy. There are sometimes some ICO projects that only gain for the funds, not focusing on the ideal concept with different ideas of the projects. Of course, it will influence the trust and interest from the investors.
By the day, it always happens and moreover, there are so many scam ICO that make the investors fear to invest. Sometimes, the dead coins become the condition happens after on exchange listing and they have no interest to attract more investors.
Some people may believe that some certain coins or tokens from ICO will reach their best value and price in bullrun. however, it doesn't guarantee.
Now, there is another crowdfunding system that is offered, IEO. Many talks about this IEO and it may be one of the ways to recommend. However, it doesn't mean that IEO will be the best way because it should also have negative sides. We need to still analyze which projects that may be valuable and promising, not only for now but for long term holding.

Sure IEOs have taken the main stream but we still need forward thinkers to cater for some of the deficiencies of IEO. If not IEOs will become like ICO and we will need to seek for new crowdfunding methods

Yeah, most of the people here are nowly accepting the cryptocurrency to raise since of the ethereum fork last months a go.

Wrong. If ICO's were to be strictly regulated causing scam ICOs and the like to completely dissapear from the market, investors will probably feel more confident (and safer) about investing in ICO's, but that wouldn't translate into a bull market as it won't have an direct effect on the prices of cryptocurrencies, for instance, in the demand of cryptos.

Just look at the last bull run, ICOs didn't cause prices to go up to such crazy levels, but rather, the prices and the bull market triggered a surge in ICOs and they started flooding the market.

As you said it's like that


But, on actually don’t close the possibility of some projects without thinking about the pricing of utilities tokens or coins, if asked in others group say hello “We can’t comment in regard to the pricing and the team doesn't control the markets” and that I consider it familiar to say

I guess to the OP above, the first solution if we had more funds should follow the projects which are listed IEOs so currently where this is matters trend and everything is definitely want to expect an ROI or a highly prices so that, it’s very profitable I think all ambitious people against this.

However, if there is a project that is best according to you with the research and full know a project should take ICOs.

I think it was a long long period of recovery for bitcoin but the difference was compared to previous times we went down this time corporations actually invested money into stuff that would really help us get up quicker. For example when bitcon was going down back in the day it was called "doom of bitcoin" or "bitcoin is a failed project" and all that but now companies like BAKKT is getting millions of dollars in investments and even small time games like cryptokitties got like 15 million dollars in investment.

That is why I think this "drop" we had in 2018 was not as bad as the ones we used to have but it is certainly a better thanks to corporations actually believing the project and putting their money in the system thinking it will go back up and eventually it did went back up of course.

I also do not understand why still continue to appear fraudulent projects. After all, they are not so difficult to detect and many investors simply bypass them. Don't they realize that it is more profitable to create something worthwhile and useful. I think that the return of the ICO will really be able to contribute to a positive mood in crypto.

The bear market of 2018 was the killer of some scam ICO. There are also advantages of being on Bear Market, fewer spams and fewer scams on the cryptosphere. After the long sideways and dumps in 2018, we started the year 2019 with an increase in the price of Bitcoin since we found a bottom around 3,1xxx last quarter of 2018. But the question is, is that already the bottom?

correction you want so the ICO project will benefit all of them ,its not good if correction continue cause there is an ICO those failed projects will immediately sells crypto assets ,it's not easy as one thinks that a scam project will come without mercy if they have obtained hardcap or public fund

Please stop acting like the price of crypto currencies are some what bind to how well ICOs are doing. Some coins are, but trust me, they won't last long. The actual price of bitcoin or other crypto currencies will depend on how much of volume of coins are being bought or sell. Now the volume depends on the demand of the people. The more the people uses it, the higher the demand will be. Thus cause the price to increase (not considering price manipulation in this case).

It seems like ICOs are pretty much a dead thing for most people because no one wants to invest in them anymore since the risks of being scammed are way to high with over 80% of the projects being scams. I don't know if there is any hope for ICOs since their reputation is already destroyed now, even though there still exist some good and promising projects.

What do you mean by the ICO concept which was replaced by the IEO by several large markets that made the coin successful in funding and could get profit when looking at the crypto market which did not allow

information about some countries that issue regulations that regulate crypto and bitcoin currencies will enter the Halving Day cycle, ie rewards per block will decrease every four years or every 210,000 blocks become good information that gives fresh air to the crypto world that makes prices better now

you are right, in the last few weeks i have also felt very excited to see the situation of the market that is starting to improve and some of the ico are gaining the trust of many investors so many ico are successful.

i hope that more ICO projects will succeed in the future so that investors will return to like the ico projects.and the ICO's fame was not defeated by the IEO, which has recently been in demand by many investors.

I somehow think crypto downfall is because if the ICO, the number of scamming in ICO is very alarming, the investors of crypto also diversify their investment into ICO, and this can caused other coins become weaker , ICO also causing a lot of people got a negative trust on crypto due to the number of scamming and fraud

Well, i hope bitcointalk also have a new rules about releasing an ICO in this forum. So not everybody can easily open a thread about an ICO because there is so easy to make your own ICO and just make your own thread about the project and ICO, that's why there are so many scammers out there.

My opinion is quite the opposite of what you've just stated, the best ICO's in the market will appear whenever the market gets steady well, when there is a bull that will going to drive the market prices of such cryptocurrencies, there we could see promising ICO's appearing in the market. For now, it is very difficult to find one since not enough profit they can get with this kind of market we are experiencing right now.

Now has come, IEO, IAO are minimizing bad risk, and it is hoped that we will all follow this development, which is good at choosing investments, not seeing in terms of promotion but also in terms of security.

Unfortunately I completely lost trust on ico I was in the part of ico from quite long time till August 2018 after that lots of scam project I really stopped looking into crypto space for couple of month. Now I am back in crypto will never endorse any fake icos

Yes, indeed, the fact that the market is changing for the better is certainly pleasing. And investors have the opportunity to feel protected. And it is this sense of security that will lead new people to ICO projects. And accordingly new investments in crypto.

Market is really appreciating in 2019 as I expected but problem facing ICO can't be fixed because scanners are still out there using ICO to lure innocent victims and since IEO is around and doing better it will be best for developers to start using IEO, STO and not ICO this is the only solution that will bring back what crypto space lost

What are you talking about? Is the cryptosphere getting better? Bitcoin and Ether can not come to life a year. A lot of the scamm ICOs has become about 80%, and another part is not able to collect soft cap and their token is worth nothing, this has not happened before
